The 25-man Chelsea squad has been officially released by the Premier League.

The squad for the 2019/20 season was confirmed on Tuesday.

The 25-man squad system was introduced by the Premier League at the start of the 2010/11 season.

As stipulated in the rules governing the system, there must be a minimum of eight homegrown players in each Premier League squad.

Chelsea have homegrown players like Tammy Abraham, Ross Barkley, Andreas Christensen, Fikayo Tomori and many more in their squad.

The Blues have made an average start to the new Premier League season under manager Frank Lampard.

Chelsea have recorded five points from their first four league games.

The Blues started the season with a 4-0 defeat at the hands of hosts Manchester United before playing out a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester City.
